Glenn Beck Rips On Olbermann

Well deserved, I might add. Beck does show restraint, but he's generally a class act.

Class act, huh?

"I don't have a lot of African-American friends," confessed Beck. "I think part of it is because I'm afraid that I would be in an open conversation, and I would say something that somebody would take wrong."
----
BECK: Dina, let me tell you something. I don`t think you have to be famous. I think you just work in the average environment in America now, somebody would get a picture of you, and then it would be posted all around, and it will happen in your office.

SANSING: Possibly.

BECK: You don`t think so?

SANSING: Well, it depends. You know, it depends...

BECK: Dina, I`ve got some time and a camera. Why don`t you stop by? No? OK.
----
BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure.

Sure sounds like a class act to me.

Wow, you guys have a stunning lack of sense of sarcasm, don't you?

SeattleSusieQ said...

"... but he's generally a class act."

Just where is the sarcasm, John? Not even a smiley there to give anyone a clue.

Arrrgh.

Even you, Susan, admitted that Beck was harmless and self-deprecating when you actually saw a video and not the transcription a few months back.

Quote away from transcripts taken out of context and lacking the nuance of the spoken word but it garbles the intent.

Hey, look, if this was about windbags like Limbaugh, Hannity, Olbermann (as initiator), or Randi Rhodes I would agree with your assessment 100%.

But Glenn Beck is a different animal and you'd know that if you listened to him or watched him.
